Now it’s the Aggies’ turn

I’m talking the New Mexico State Aggies and their fans. A few nights ago in Virginia, the George Mason student band got some good ole fashioned ribbing in at JJ Barea’s expense. They chanted “Hair Gel, Hair Gel” every time he touched the ball, a reminder of the days when Barea and Northeastern were in town.

The fans here in Las Cruces got to know Nick Fazekas, who starred for WAC rival Nevada for four years. Nick knows something is coming.

“I don’t know what to expect tonight, but I’m expecting a few things for sure,” he said after shootaround. “It was a lot worse than what JJ got at George Mason, I know that.”

Nick was referring to the treatment he got during his college career. He does have a favorite memory of Pan American Center – beating the Aggies his junior year to take the lead in the WAC race.

So what sort of reaction did he get? Nothing too creative, just a chorus of boos.
